Package: linux-2.6
Version: > 2.6.23
Severity: normal


Hi,

Since updating the kernel to 2.6.24 I get some strange hiccups when
trying to play media files. They play fine for some time (random, but
usually after one hour or so) and then they stop. When I start typing or
moving the mouse they play on for as long as I provide some input. When
I stop, they hang as well. All media players are affected be it MPlayer
or Totem. Even GIF animations in Firefox stop moving when this is
happening.

I thought it might be caused by NO_HZ, but disabling and rebuilding did
not help. I am currently building a kernel with NO_HZ and
HIGH_RES_TIMERS off (#458312). I have tried various kernels (currently
2.6.25.13) and all seem to have this problem (building with the Debian
kernel settings).

regards,
Marek

Thanks, closing the bug then.
